"Mr. Tambourine Man" seems to be about a drug dealer.
>>”Mr. Tambourine Man” seems to be about a drug dealer.
So what?
Actually, it’s about a drug experience, not a dealer. The Tambourine Man is not a dealer - it’s the experience. That’s my interpretation. I’m not a poet - that’s the best I describe it.
But this is a discussion on music and poetry, not values.
So? A lot of great songs have been written about all sorts of illegal, immoral, or self-destructive activities. But to enjoy those songs doesn't mean that you are personally involved in those sorts of activities, or would ever want to be.
